Information density phenomena and random packing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
A density model for various phenomena with densities much smaller than those explored by the Zipf model is developed. The density of spherical random packing in n dimensions serves as a model for relative frequency of length of monosyllabic words in English and also for the relative frequency of degree holders in the U.S. at various levels of educational attainment.
